A motivation-sustaining articularity/acoustic speech training system for profoundly deaf children

The authors describe a speech training system for deaf children which integrates acoustic and several types of instrumentally measured articulatory data: palatography, nasal vibration, airflow, and the presence/absence of voicing. The system presents these in both a technical and a motivating game format. It was designed to be used both with a teacher´s guidance and (within certain limits) by the children alone. The games are proving to be highly motivating to the children, and encourage them to experiment with their speech production.<>
